This is my first ever post on this forum, but I had to say that this thread has been life changing for me, it has truly helped me so much. I have an identical situation with my own MIL and SIL and had been been experiencing so many negative emotions and anger about it. Reading what you ladies have written regarding the way firstborns are typically treated versus younger children, and codependent relationships, etc., has absolutely turned my thoughts around toward my MIL and made me realize she was not being INTENTIONAL in most of her hurtful behaviors and that is huge for me....Just wanted to share.
